Thomas Sowell has taught economics at a number of colleges and universities, including Cornell, University of California Los Angeles, and Amherst. He has published both scholarly and popular articles and books on economics, and is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
"As always, Sowell's analysis is well informed and displays a great
deal of that increasingly uncommon quality, common sense... In the
largest sense, The Vision of the Anointed is a book about the
perils of ideology--those dazzling intellectual-moral constructions
that seduce the unwary into ignoring the way the world works for
the sake of dreams about the way it must."--Roger Kimball, The
American Spectator
"Avid conservatives, for whom Sowell is a true-blue intellectual
force, will certainly seize upon his analysis for
succor."--Booklist
"Mr. Sowell's eye is sharp, and everyone who has been up against
progressive orthodoxy will find his or her own candidate for Most
Annoying Liberal Kiss-Off Award."--Suzanne Garment, Washington
Times
"This is as compelling an explanation as any for the seemingly
disproportionate amount of condescension and politically correct
invective that emanates from the liberal side of the political
spectrum toward the conservative opposition."--Scott McConnell,
Wall Street Journal
